Some Notes by the Way, SCOTTISH SPORTS IM NEW YORK,
‘Sketch «af the Caledonia Club,
Successful Islanders Abroad.
Tue weather on the second day of my sojourn in New York—the day of the Cale- donian Club’s sports—was fine and clear ; but there was just a little too much sun for comfort. At an early hour I wasastir, and nine o’cluck found me at the corner of Broadway and Twenty-Third Street wait- ing for the procession to come along, for I preferred to join it there to marching all the way up from the Club House cn Horatio Street. Soon the sound of the pipes broke upon my ear, and shortly afterwards the procession, which was a grand one, came in sight. There were in al! about six hundred men in the parade, and more than half that nuniber were attired—or, perhaps, I should say semi-attired—in kilts. Music was fur- nished by two brass bands, the Club’s fife and drum corps, and an unlimited number of pipers. The Highland Guards, a mili- tary organization connected with the Club, were also present, making a splendid ap- pearance. All along the route the streets were lined with people, and every window and doorway had several occupants. The grand marching of the men and the excel- lent music furnished by the bands and pipers occasioned much favorable comment as the procession moved along. After
marching a few blocks further on the place where the special line of cars which was to convey the mem- bers of the Club and their guests to
where the sports were to come off, was reached. The cars were profusely decor- ated for the occasion. Sovn all were on board, and the train was off.
About twenty minutes later the cars stopped within a block or two of Jones Wood and Washington Park, the scene of the gathering. When the procession en- tered the enclosure, I looked about me and saw that already there was a large number present. During the forenoon this number was greatly increased, and by noon there could not have been Jess than fifteen thous- and people there. The spacious balconies were filled, and the crowd around the ropes about the space reserved for the sports was several deep. And a right good-humored crowd it was, too. As the Herald said in its report of the affair, ‘‘even the bairns were jolly, and never found occasion to do anything but clap their hands in ecstacy.” Everyone was there for a gcod time, and 1 think all succeeded in having one, I know that I did. There was music and dancing in nearly every part of the en- closure, and the grand ball-room in the Park was thronged with dancers all the afternoon and evening. The barkeepers on the grounds were kept busily engaged all day, but there was no drunkenness. In fact, during the entire celebration, | did not see a man or boy who was incapable of taking care of himself, nor did I hear an or or vulgar expression made use of.
The programme for the day was % monster one, including among its twenty-seven events tossing the caber, broad-sword, dancing, reels and Highland
fling’s, bag-pipe competitions, weight-throw-
ing, jumping and vaulting, quoits, flat races, walking races, hitch and kick, pole- vaulting, ete., providing sport from ten o'clock in the morning until six in the afternoon. The gamer were all governed by the rules of the Club. Competitors in each event had to hand in their names dur- ing the preceding game, the last entry _be- ginning the competition, Three prizes were allowed in each game, except where there was less than four starters ; and com- petitors had to be attired in proper athletic ring costume. There was no person allow- ed in the ring excepting competitors, the games committee and members of the press. Several of the best known professional runners, walkers, hammer-throwers, shot- putters, ete., in the country competed in the different events. After each contest a young man whose lung power I greatly admired, visited the four corners of the Wood, and in stentorian tones informed the assembled multitude who it was that won first, second and third places in the competition just concluded. After doing this he went to the reporters who were comfortably quartered on the band stand, and gave them full particulars. In this way the spectators were kept informed of the results as the games progressed, and the reporters did not have to run around fishing up the news as they oftimes have to do in places much nearer home than New York. I would like to give an account of the different contests for the benefit of those Island athletes who take part at our own Scottish games, and for the benefit of the public generally, but I have not the space so to do and must therefore call a halt here.
By the way, | had almost forgotten to state that when the Club arrived inside the enclosure they were marched around the ring, headed by the band, after which they were drawn up in line and briefly address- ed by Chief McEachen. At the conclusion of the address the youthful Chief was ap- plauded to the echo. The Highland
Guards, the military organization con- nected with the Club, to which I have already made reference, were
also put through a series of manoeuvres during the afternoon, which called forth great applause from the spectators. In short, the sports were a grand success in every respect, the most successful, [ am told, in the history of the Club.
Like the great majority of national or-
ganizations, the New York Caledonian Club had a very small beginning. On the even- ing of the 28th November, 1856, a number of Scotchmen met together to consider the advisability of forming a club, but it was not until a month later that the first business meeting was held and officers elected. Foratime the progress of the Club was very slow; but the members did not lose heart. ‘The first games were held at Hoboken, in October, 1857. The entire expenses of the day amounted to $38.50! By the end of the year, the Club had 4 membership of fifty. The Club’s first an- nual ball was held in February, 1858, and the first annual picnic was held during the following summer. Since then these three features—games, ball and picnic—have been regularly kept up, and are now recognized as part of the Club's legitimate work. In the year 1879, having ‘‘gathered the siller” to a sufficient extent to warrant the proceed- ing, the Club purchased the site of its pre- sent handsome room on Horatio Street. The laying of the corner-stone was made the occasion of a big demonstration, and the end of the year saw the members com- fortably settled iv their new and elegant quarters. On the 29th May, 1888, the Club celebrated its freedom from debt, and the occasion will long be remembered in the annals of the Club. In the winter of each year, the Club has a grand ball, checker and curling tournaments, concerts, lectures, etc., and in the summer season a grand ex- cursion, shinty and base ball matches, and the event of the year—the a e Club also boasts of a well-selected library and a reading room for the accommodation of its members. Besides, there is a sick and visiting committee to aid poor and de- serving Scotchmen, and a gratuity fund for the benefit of the widow or next of kin of deceased members. The presenc member- ehip of the Club is about six hundred, and the assets are valued at $50,000.
Until about two years ago, the chief of the club was always an “Auld Country,” Scotch- man, About that time, however, a change was made in this arranagement, and a Montreal Scotchman was elected chief. He held the office for one term, after which the present incumbent, Mr. James Colin McEachen, a Prince Edward Island Scotchman, was elected to the position. The third chieftain of the club, Mr. James D. Macdonald, is also an Islander, a native of Souris. He has been in New York about fifteen years and is evidently prospering. He has the management of a big tea store on Fulton Street and is highly spoken of by all who know him. Luck has apparently been with Chief McEachen ever since he landed in New York, some ten years ago. He was a mere boy when he left home, but he hada man’s pluck and a man’s ambition, and was determined to succeed, Having a pleasing address, and being willing to work, and work hard too, he was never long idle. Taking advantage of an Opportanity that presented itself, he entered the office of a prominent lawyer in the city, and set about qualifying himself for the bar. | He studied hard, and when the time came for him to go up for examination he with honors.
Some time afterwards Ee branched out in
business for himself, and has suoceeded beyond his most : Besides attending to the p his pro-
fession, Mr. McKEachen manages several estates ia New York and Brooklyn. He has also dabbled in real estate to a considerable extent, and eve one of his speculations have acted. him snug profits. Mr. McEachen isa blic speaker and took a pone: rt in the Manicipal elections last year. e has been repestedly urged to enter public life, but has’ always declined doing so. Last year he was
very hard to accept a nomination for Assembly- man, but declined the honor, He has evident: ly seen enough of the inside of political life to induce him to leave it for those who like that sort of thing. VIATOR,
The “Talleyrand Memoirs.”
Tug publishers of the Century make definite avnouncement that they have secured for that magazine a series of articles consisting of extracts from the manuseript of one of the most famoua autobiographies of our generation, —the Talleyrand Memoirs, the publication of which was deferred for thirty years by the wish of Talleyrand when he died in 1838, and again postponed at the request of Napleon IIL, who was permitted to examine extracts in 1866 or 1868, and who found them te conflict with his uncle’s memoirs written from St. Helena. Talleyrand, made @ of the empire by Napoleon, in turn of the clergy of France and excommunicated by the pope, president of the French assembly, am-
assador to England, friend to kings and ministers, three times foreign minister of France under three different masters—the Directory, Napoleon, and Louis XVIIL. (wia- ning the post the firet time by reason of his remarkable utterances u America and her relations to the mother country, England), was without question the ablest di of an age when the art of diplomacy was at its height. It was Talleyrand who, after the defeat of France in 1814, snoceeded, at the congtess of Vienna, in breaking up the cou- federation of the allies and reestablishing the power of France among the nations of Europe, and who concluded the secret treaty between England, Austria, and hisown country. The Memoirs, the material of which has long been in the possession of the Duc de Broglie, are to sppear in five volumes, and the will print one article from each velume ip advance of the issue of the book in any country. These articles, of which the first will a in an early number, will be accompanied with an introduction by the Hon, Whitelaw Reid, Minister of the United States to France, who will select the extracts.
Tunnecuune Niscans.—The first sod has been turned in the construction of the great Niagara Tunnel, which will develop Niagara’s unrivalled water power. The present run of Niagara Falls, N. ¥., will be tunnelled below the upper suspension bridge, thence to the river above the town where it will be 100 feet below the surface, Then here it will extend 14 miles parallel with the main shore. Shafts will be put down along this stretch to be fed by lateral surface canals from the river. Power will be furnished for Buffalo and neighboring cities, and the renowned Thomas A. Edison
has been for some time engaged in devis- ing the most suitable means for the trans- mission of electrical power.
